Being in the store with Alexia and buying candy and it gets sort of gloomy when Alexia admits she finds it more appealing to ignore the holiday time rather then making a big deal about it.

I know that working retail can sort of make you tired of it before it even has arrived.. but this time of year really does feel magical to me. I sort of wish she could get excited about it too. Oh well..

Maybe I should just let her ignore the time of year rather then pushing her into it.. v.v

Oooh.... what kind of candy did you get? I like peppermint candies, cut rock candy, and Christmas cookies. Plus chocolate candies. Mmmm.

I also love your Christmas avatar and signature.

That reminds me... I need to change mine as well.

Thank you berry much! ^_^ We got some mint M&M's and vanilla ice cream so we could make some homemade blizzard type deals. A little cold for it but berry delicious. ^_^

Anna-Lena, my beautiful Sony Bravia 32'' now has a fun little companion... and it's not the baby snow goose.

Long story short, I got that Android HDMI Stick I wanted for Black Friday, but wasn't able to get it at that time. I will explain the story within the next week, along with full review of the device in the Computers thread. For now though, I present my customized home screen.

I mainly got this Android stick for video playback, whether it be from an SD card or streaming online. Basic web browsing also works, but at present, it's a bit of a pain since the stick only came with a wireless mouse, and you must point and click to every letter on the on-screen keyboard. It's far more time consuming than using an on-screen keyboard on a tablet.

According to the model number easter egg, it's a "TVDongle_8277-AiHua", which from what I can find, is based on the WonderMedia WM8850 CPU. It is supposed to have a Mali-400 MP GPU built in.

As for scores, I'm saving those for the review, which probably won't come until sometime after Christmas. I have several things to do for the holiday myself. I can tell you that Antutu failed to run properly. It just hung on the CPU test, and I had to force quit. I will use PassMark scores in the review and compare them to Hazel, my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7''.
